Scope and industry types of PR and content marketing
Over 77% of global organizations have a content marketing strategy and even 91% of them use it as part of their advertising efforts.
Even if content marketing and public relations (PR) have a broad similarity in terms of competence and manner of implementation, they only differ in one point: PR focuses on the company itself and everything that moves around it. Marketing, on the other hand, is aimed at potential customers and uses all channels to reach them with information and messages.
In the past, PR ensured that people talked about the company. Press releases were used to provide the media with information so that they could report on it. Contact was maintained with selected media representatives and journalists. This has changed fundamentally with search engine marketing and social media.
For some time, public relations was in danger of becoming obsolete due to content marketing. By returning to its core competency of public relations and lobbying using the marketing technologies that emerged from content marketing, PR has been able to assert itself as an independent discipline from content marketing. Parallel developments do not always have to devour the environment; they can also become a turbocharger for others. What were once 150 marketing technology solutions in 2011 have now grown to over 8,000! From search engine marketing, ads, social media to automation tools, a lot of know-how has been added.
In the early days of search engine optimization, the slogan “Content is king” permeated the scene, which in its early years was not yet viewed as an independent industry. Back then, print media still believed that the Internet was just a fad and would soon disappear. The search engines were the midwives of the Internet. Search engines were the turbocharger for an epoch-making development in human history. And because search engines and the Internet are largely still text-based (despite images and videos), the statement: “Content is king!” still applies today.
This explains the mass of marketing technology solutions and the existence of content marketing and PR work.
